Gently on your side

To be able to reach out to ourselves, we need to feel welcomed, embraced and listened to deeply. When this happens, it is easier for us to reach for tenderness and understanding for ourselves, for empathy and for getting in touch with our inner selves. It’s as if we have to experience it from someone first to be able to find it within ourselves.

„Through our needs, we connect with every human being.”
Marshall Rosenberg
Anna Gapińska

My name is Anna Gapinska

I walk alongside women and young adults as they become their own ally, find greater inner peace, and build meaningful relationships.

Being heard and seen is a great longing for a human being.

Have you ever experienced that?

How did you feel when you were deeply listened to?

Has there been a feeling of peace? Joy? Did you feel belonging? Or maybe relief?

When you have a kind person on your side, your nervous system calms down.

In an atmosphere of safety, you can look at your affairs, integrate parts of yourself, and implement your intentions.

In an accepting 1:1 relationship, the nervous system is protected. Then it is also easier to be by your own side, to be clear, and to determine which direction to follow.

It is in the place where our nervous system is relaxed that we have real access to ourselves.

To our sense of reality, to our desires and, above all, our needs.

Needs are the motivator of our actions, whether satisfied or not.
How do we know about them? Thanks to our feelings, signals in the body, tensions.
It is the body that allows us to be in touch with ourselves.

Thus, a person who remains in contact with oneself, perceives the needs of the other more fully. And the latter is given a gentle space to use its own resources to the fullest.

In needs-based coaching, I take into account the whole person of the client in order to integrally support them in what they come with; in their transformation.

I work in the spirit of Needs-Based Coaching, which is a combination of Nonviolent Communication and Coaching. This approach was developed by the Danish NVC (Non-violent communication) trainer and coach – Pernille Plantener and focuses equally on building awareness and on putting change into practice.
